Holt Algebra 1
5-3 Rate of Change and Slope
A rate of change is a ratio that compares the amount of change in a dependent variable to the amount of change in an independent variable.

Example 1: Application
The table shows the average temperature (°F) for five months in a certain city. Find the rate of change for each time period. During which time period did the temperature increase at the fastest rate?
Step 1 Identify the dependent and independent variables.
dependent: temperature independent: month

Example 2: Finding Rates of Change from a Graph
Graph the data from Example 1 and show the rates of change.
Graph the ordered pairs. The vertical segments show the changes in the dependent variable, and the horizontal segments show the changes in the independent variable.
Notice that the greatest rate of change is represented by the steepest of the red line segments.

Example 2 Continued
Graph the data from Example 1 and show the rates of change.
Also notice that between months 2 to 3, when the balance did not change, the line segment is horizontal.

Also notice that between days 16 to 22, when the balance did not change, the line segment is horizontal.
Holt Algebra 1
5-3 Rate of Change and Slope
If all of the connected segments have the same rate of change, then they all have the same steepness and together form a straight line. The constant rate of change of a line is called the slope of the line.

Example 3: Finding Slope
Find the slope of the line.
Begin at one point and count vertically to fine the rise.
Then count horizontally to the second point to find the run.
It does not matter which point you start with. The slope is the same.

5-3 Rate of Change and Slope
As shown in the previous examples, slope can be positive, negative, zero or undefined. You can tell which of these is the case by looking at a graph of a line–you do not need to calculate the slope.
